Spiky Topman appear as regular enemies in the Battlerock Galaxy and the Dreadnought Galaxy. Spiky Topmen can use a spin attack which does not damage Mario, but push him backwards. However, the spin can push Mario into other hazards that may hurt him. In addition if Mario attempts to stomp a Spiky Topman or lands on one he will be hurt by the spike on its head. Mario can defeat the Spiky Topmen by using their own strategy against them, Mario's spin attack or a Star Bit can knock the enemies into electric fences causing them to explode. Each one defeated would give a Coin. Sometimes, when Spiky Topmen are defeated, they make a gate or door open leading to the next part of the level.
